Kjell has been busy designing, too!  This very cool weather vane is in our back yard.  Kjell has a video of it with Spring sounds on his blog here:  https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1BDqQgErQ8/

Meet Tuey!

 Good morning,

Meet Tuey (pronounced "Two-E)!

Our friend Erica has a new pup, now only four months old.  He came to meet our pups and spend a couple of days while Erica is out of town.  

This image isn't the best quality since it was snapped while the pups were moving around quickly, but it's so cute!  Tuey and our Elsa are meeting for the very first time.  Elsa is such a sweet gentle dog.  She's so happy her tail is only a blur while Tuey is stealing kisses.

They'll be great friends!

So sweet!

Repotting Time - Kalanchoe

 Good morning,

This beautiful Spring weather is perfect for re-potting plants in my indoor garden.

The Kalanchoe pictured now only survived the winter, it thrived.  What beautiful blossoms! 

 I've had this one sitting on the patio for a couple of weeks while looking for the right size pot for it's next home.  It is thriving in the partial sun and Spring temperatures.

Happy Spring!

Doggie Keep Away Game

 Good morning,

Teddy stayed with us for nearly two weeks while his mom, Erica, and our daughter, Catherine, were cruising through the Panama Canal.

Teddy is a great retriever.  In fact, Teddy the Border Collie, is a much better a retriever than our Labrador Retrievers. 

 Here's Elsa, though, standing guard over the slightly worn out and dirty unicorn that Teddy had been retrieving.  She decided she wanted the toy just as human kids do when another is playing with something.  It's not like we don't have more (than 100) other toys!

Anyway, I put Elsa inside and let Teddy retrieve for awhile.  

Even the unicorn survived, but looks much better after a trip through the laundry with Tide and Laundry Sanitizer.

All the best,

Lois

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

 Good morning,

 It was a beautiful day when Serenade of the Seas arrived in Puerto Vallarta.   

 What tickled me is the next picture Erica sent to me.  That's Walmart over there.  :)

After this port there were two sea days, then Serenade of the Seas arrived in Los Angeles where Erica and Catherine departed to come home.

Thanks for taking us along, ladies!

Love you,

Mom
